To convert a VectorDrawable to SVG.

Good idea, I will seriously consider implementing it. And welcome to a contribution to converting VectorDrawable to SVG : )

Say, you wrote that this tool is deprecated and we should use what's of Android Studio. Maybe you could put what I suggested here as a new plugin?

And, you could actually make something better than Android Studio, still for conversion to VectorDrawable (or somehow improve what Android Studio has) : Optimizer of VectorDrawable.

The reason is that sometimes the output gets long, so much that the IDE warns about it, that it won't be efficient. There are various online tools for this, and maybe standalone third party tools, but they are all for SVG as I've seen. Some also have a nice slider to reduce the vectors inside, that as you move it, it shows you the result (to make sure that for you it seems the same or good enough).
